Hi All,

I have a DatagridView with Dock as Fill..
suppose there are only 5 Rows in Datagridview..

My need is to set Contextmenustrip within the Region of Rows..
ie., when user Right clicks outside the Area of Rows.. it should not show the Contextmenustrip..

Which event do i need to handle..?
(I tried Cellmousedown,cellclick,cellcontentclick --- But are not Working Perfectly)

Please help me on this..

Regards,
Pawan.

It is simple.

Try the following code block.

C#

private void dgvTestGrid_CellMouseUp(object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
    {
        if (dgvTableDescription.SelectedCells.Count > 0)
            MessageBox.Show("Ta..Da...");
            // Show the context menu instead of message box.
    }
}

In Form_Load only it is Working..
suppose if u Leftclick on a Row and Leave All Rows in Datagridview and RightClick in other Area Of Datagridview, Contextmenustrip is appearing. but purpose is, it should not show the Contextmenustrip.

if u have more ideas on this.. please let me know.
